Hello, I'm Mick, I'm a new chicken mom.

A little backstory, I'm staying at my mom's acreage before I buy a house. She has a dog, I have two cats, and she's wanted chickens for a while but was apprehensive to figure it out by herself. Queue me, I've wanted to try chickens for a while too but didn't have a place to do so. So, I decided to take on the challenge of learning to care for these birds for both of us!

We brought home 4 one-week-old female chicks from a store last thursday on May 16. We've got one Rhode Island Red, one black Australorp, and two lavender Orpingtons. They're inside the house in a large plastic bin for now, and we're in the process of converting the shed into a coop once they are old enough. I very much look forward to watching/helping them grow!

Additionally, as someone who doesn't personally know others with chickens, I'm very glad to have found a community to share experiences with and get more familiar with the hobby. I look forward to sharing/reading more, see you online!
